Watch it in action

With Landscape you can manage your machines from anywhere via a browser, and with a fully scriptable API, you can integrate it with your current Linux management tools, extending their capabilities and giving you the power to do more with fewer resources.

Integration with common client-side Linux sysadmin tooling, so you can see the same information about individual machines as you see in the terminal.

A complete API lets you use established technologies (e.g. Bash, Python) to borrow or build on Landscape’s functionality.

Custom scripts need only be written to allow for the business logic unique to your organisation; common tasks (e.g. repository management) are already covered, so there’s no need to re-invent the wheel.

Manage machines remotely from any web browser.

You can manage machines remotely from anywhere you can access a web browser.

Receive alerts when updates become available for specific machines, or manage auto-update policies, instructing devices to update during set maintenance windows.
